zur nichtinvasiven Evaluation der Gewebevitalität darstellen. The goal of this work was to provide techniques and hardware for 23 Na MRI of the human brain, heart and muscle in a clinical scanner at 1.5 T. For this purpose, radiofrequency (RF) coils were developed and a transmit/receive switch was adapted to 16.84 MHz. A 3D radial gradient echo (GRE) sequence was implemented, with a minimum ech...
